Every month for eight years a warez compilation disc was released under the name Twilight. Selling over 60.000 each month, not getting caught and transforming from piece of art to shrinkwrap.
From the mid-ninenties to the early 2000's a warez compilation cd was released under the name Twilight. It featured the latest and greatest in games and applications and was sold for 25 Dutch guilders via friends and collegues. With a total of 89 volumes and absolute secrecy, it's a challenge to find how well they managed.
Challenge accepted: each and every Twilight was taken apart to find clues, mistakes, hidden gems and easter eggs. All this resulted in a great overview and timeline of a magnificent warez compilation CD where greatness tranformed into criminality.
In all the madness of running an illegal product for eight years, did they manage to uphold their standards, or where the pirates being pirated?
